Dios es Bueno

That title is a popular song to sing before we start any program on the mountain missions. It is also a good way to describe my experience this last week on mission. A team had come down from the States and so we sent five teams to super remote mountain villages (aldeas) to do a weeks-worth of faith formation and evangelization. These villages get Mass every couple of months, tops. It was a beautiful experience. I saw God so clearly in the people, in their generosity to give us the best of what they have in gratitude, in the smiles of the kids, in their faith in the midst of struggles those from the States can never even begin to understand…The week was filled with blessings. I am so grateful that God has brought me here and pray that He continues to use me to reach others, even if I am not aware of it.

Now we will finish up with this team tonight and we pick up another at the airport tomorrow. I am excited to go back to the mountains to see both what God wants to teach me and what He wants me to do this time. Please pray for us since we can do nothing alone.
